Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our garden services in the South Hams.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional gardener for lawn care?

Hiring a professional goes beyond just saving you time. At Totnes Gardening, we understand lawn health. We use professional equipment with sharp blades to prevent tearing (which leads to disease), and we cut at the correct height for the season to suppress weeds and moss. Plus, our battery-powered mulching mowers feed nutrients back into the soil, creating a greener, healthier lawn without chemical fertilizers.

Do you offer eco-friendly or organic gardening options?

Yes. Ecological stewardship is at the heart of our business. We practice "Quiet Gardening" using emission-free battery tools. We also offer rewilding services, wildflower meadow creation, and strictly chemical-free, organic methods for pest and weed control to protect local wildlife and pets.

What areas do you serve in the South Hams?

While we are based in Totnes, we serve clients across the South Hams district. Our regular maintenance rounds cover Bridgetown, Dartington, Berry Pomeroy, Stoke Gabriel, Harberton, and Ashprington. If you are in the wider South Hams area, please get in touch to discuss your project.

Are you fully insured?
